February Branch Temple Trip 2017

Me and Aunt Wendy in front of the temple

This Saturday, the 18^th, I went back to the temple for the first time since I married my ex-husband 8 years ago. The Susquehanna branch were taking a trip together to the Philadelphia temple and I made preparations earlier this month so that I could go. What a wonderful experience! I hesitate to go into too much detail because it is a sacred place but there were several things that happened to let me know that Heavenly Father was proud of me, reassuring me that I was in the right place. Even the ride, almost 3 hours each way, wasn’t too bad! There was about 1 hour in there where I really felt it, like it was a long time, but in the end it was totally worth it. I hope to find many more opportunities to go to the temple.

Things have been tumultuous for me lately, a new trial showing its face by plaguing someone that I love with hardship. I feel myself tested every single day for the past 2 weeks, trying to remember all the things I have learned these past few months. It’s been a battle for confidence in myself and as a daughter and going to the temple definitely helped me feel some of that again. I have made it so far and I have a lot to be proud of but I still have a ways to go.
